"As David Moyes scowled and growled orders, cajoling his West Ham team from the touchline, he seemed positively at one with his new casting as the scourge of the Big Six," writes the Daily Mail's Matt Barlow.

"Moyes has taken points from Chelsea, Arsenal and now Tottenham during two months in the job — and he managed to give Manchester City a fright on their own turf.

"It was not pretty, last night, not in the slightest despite two of the sweetest strikes from long range you are likely to see.

"Twenty minutes of shapeless mayhem was preceded by 70 minutes of tedious order as West Ham came to frustrate Spurs and then took an improbable lead from a screamer unleashed by Pedro Obiang. It was the first attempt at goal from the visitors and would remain their only shot on target of the whole game.

"For most of the contest, Moyes barely let his players venture out of their own half. They sat deep, declined possession, rolled up their sleeves and hurled their bodies between the ball and their goal.

"To their credit, it worked. Tottenham battered away, slowly becoming weary from making all the running and then stung by the psychological blow of a breath-taking goal, whistled into the top corner by Obiang from 30 yards."

"Tottenham were staring at a setback in their attempt to get closer to the top four," says David Hytner in The Guardian. "They needed a riposte. Son Heung-min provided it. Whatever Obiang could do, he clearly felt he could match.

"It was a similar kind of situation. Son had no clear options when he collected possession and so he tried his luck. He cut across the ball with his right boot and the swerve and power were too much for Adrián.

"The long-range classics brought a drab encounter to life. Rather abruptly, a London derby broke out and West Ham, against the run of play, might even have nicked it. André Ayew, who Moyes felt had made a difference after his introduction as a substitute, wriggled through and Lloris needed to block at close quarters.

"Defeat would have been awfully hard on Tottenham, who dominated the game and had 31 attempts on goal to West Ham’s three. They hogged possession and for long periods, it seemed as though they were camped inside the West Ham half. But it was not a night when Harry Kane or any of their attacking talents were able to cut loose."

"For the most part Christian Eriksen was the man whom Spurs looked to, trying to find a way through and he did create the circumstances for a Reid own goal on 16 minutes but Harry Kane had strayed offside," says The Telegraph's Sam Wallace. "The Spurs striker was not quite as sharp as he might have been and just a yard too short for a cross from Serge Aurier on 33 minutes when Jan Vertonghen’s fine ball had picked out the full-back.

"By the time Obiang scored a goal completely against the run of play, Spurs had made 18 attempts on West Ham’s goal and West Ham had made just this one. But what an attempt it was, driven with Obiang’s right foot from the left channel, a violent clout that beat Lloris at his near post. Moyes credited substitute Andre Ayew for opening the space.

Heung-Min Son celebrates his goal

"The equaliser came when, for the first time, West Ham gave one of Spurs’ most dangerous players space and time. Mark Noble, busy all night, hesitated and pointed to a team-mate and by then Son had already lined up his coordinates to shoot.

"Moyes said that referee Mike Dean had been right not to penalise Aurier for a challenge on Manuel Lanzini to win possession for the goal. Pochettino also declined to press his case for a penalty when Lopez might have fouled Dele Alli and both managers simply accepted that sometimes the game just serves up a match as surprising in its outcome as this one."

The Independent

"It was clear from the very first minutes what the pattern of the game of would be," says Jack Pitt-Brooke in The Independent. "Spurs defended on the half-way line, went forward, and came up against a penalty box full of claret and blue shirts. Javier Hernandez was often the only West Ham player not within 20 yards of his own goal. Davinson Sanchez, Kane and Christian Eriksen all had shots blocked from good positions, so Spurs started shooting from distance: Kane forced a good save from Adrian from 20 yards, Eric Dier flayed one miles over, Eriksen’s took a deflection, forcing a save.

"The second half did not start any differently. Spurs continued to push but there is only so much you can do against a defence like this. Angelo Ogbonna blocked from Son, Winston Reid blocked from Eriksen, Pablo Zabaleta blocked from Kane.

"And then, with no build-up or warning whatsoever, West Ham scored. They had genuinely not mounted one serious attack until, with 20 minutes left, Pedro Obiang found himself in space 30 yards from goal. With no obvious options on, he decided to hit it as hard as he could towards the top corner. It was a one in a million shot, flying past Hugo Lloris and in.

"Spurs looked devastated but kept pushing. They threw on Victor Wanyama and Erik Lamela and then Fernando Llorente. There were more corners, more blocks and more balls into the box. Until they finally got level with a goal almost as spectacular as the one they conceded."
